I feel one of the most important aspects of the role is definitely the building of confidence, encouraging students to take a leap even when unsure. I also feel that ensuring students don't feel ashamed or embarrassed if they do get things wrong. Creating a safe and fun environment is hugely important to ensure their sessions aren't seen as a…

I think giving a student support and encouragement is extremely important as well as making things clear for students. Too often, students feel overwhelmed at the prospect of new, hard concepts, and simplifying the concepts and supporting students through this, enables them to achieve success. I think I am good at giving space for a student to try…

I think the most important thing is to be ready to present the concept in multiple ways and see which one best suits the child. Especially with Maths, there are many ways to get the correct answer, it’s just about finding the best route for each individual child. I am very patient. I have a family member with dyslexia and dyspraxia which gives…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student are to inspire confidence, foster a love for learning, and provide tailored support. Building a student’s confidence is crucial, as it empowers them to tackle challenges independently and believe in their abilities. A tutor should also make learning enjoyable and relevant, which helps ignite…

I think the most important think a tutor can do for a student is to give them confidence in their own abilities. Schooling, especially ones centred around standardised exams, encourage students to master themselves in order to achieve standardised tasks; however, no part of the curriculum teaches them how to do this. I feel as though it is the…

A few of the important things tutors can do for students include being a good academic tutor and giving moral support. The basics of being a good tutor include: punctuality, availability, knowledge to teach students. It also extends to: being available to answer student’s queries outside of class and being a good source of support for students,…

By providing this connection ultimately the student can gain the best…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is foster independent thinking and a growth mindset.

By teaching them how to approach…

The most important thing a tutor can do for their students is to give them every tool available and confidence.

Once students realise that they have learnt all the tools necessary to…

I believe the most important thing about a tutor is being able to provide self-confidence for the student.

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is build up their confidence while teaching them concepts.

Actually engage and interact with the student to find where, and more importantly why they're struggling or need help. This not only is a short term solution to a single question which may be raised, but is extremely helpful in the long run as their problem solving skills and overall performance improves. Also, make sure the student actually…

Inside CoogeeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Robbie focused on multiplying and dividing fractions, then compared different fraction values using visual aids.

In Year 10, Claire worked through compound and simple interest calculations as well as interpreting compounded value tables for financial maths topics.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Alex explored the declining-balance method of depreciation and reducing-balance loans, with practical examples to deepen understanding of financial mathematics concepts.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student's test performance revealed persistent timing issues—"still struggling to complete tests in the correct time frame"—with rushed endings leading to unfinished questions in algebra.

For Year 11 Physics, forgotten content after missed sessions resulted in gaps that "couldn't be covered quickly before the test," causing anxiety and confusion.

In Year 6 Maths, unorganized note-taking meant key formulas were missing when revising fractions.

Another senior student hesitated to write working out for worded problems: "He holds back in case he gets an answer wrong," so mistakes remained hidden and feedback couldn't be used effectively.

Recent Achievements

One Coogee tutor recently saw a Year 9 student, previously hesitant to ask for help, now actively seeking clarification whenever confused—a big change from just nodding along in earlier sessions.

A Year 11 student has started fixing mistakes independently after only one correction, where before he would repeat the same error several times.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who used to stumble over times tables is now recalling them more smoothly each week and even completed a new set without prompts during their last session.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We've had 2 sessions with Hyolie and I find her very knowledgeable and organised. My daughter is comfortable with her, so far so good.

Zac is progressing well and is enjoying his tutoring with Emily.  He has clicked with her and they seem to be working well together.

We really like Mark, his communication style really suits Remy, and he is able to work out what she needs very quickly. We would love to stay with him until the end of the year. They are a good match. Thank you

Local Spots for Tutoring

If you'd prefer not to have lessons at home, tutoring can also take place at a local library—such as Randwick Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Brigid's Catholic Primary School.
